How to Address Your Letters.

Postmaster Welsh says, notwithstand-
ing all the notices that have been given
in the papers from time to time about the
free delivery system, and about people
having their letters addressed 10 their
street and number, not one in fifty comes
that way. How do you suppose we are to
get along next week when the system
goes into effect? We desire u call atten-
ton to this matter again, and impress its
importance. Remember that on and after
the first of July, the government requires
that your letters should be delivered at
your residence. Now, how In the world
are they to be delivered if they are not
properly addressed Do you think the
carriers know where you live? If you do
you are very much mistaken. Your let
tiers are liable, if not properly addressed,
to be in the office several days. If proper
IN addressed there will be no trouble
about prompt delivery. Now it won't be
much trouble to drop few postals to
your friends, saying: PLEASE address my
letters hereafter TO No. -
street. This will insure proper delivery.
The easiest way to do it is to do il at
once.

The BaccaIaureate sermon.

One Of the largest and most apprecia-
tive audiences that has ever assembled in
Mcdowell Hall, was present last night
on the occasion OF the Baccalaurcate ser
mon. Long before S o'clock. the room
was uncomfortably filed, but the polite
ushers, Messrs. Duvall and Ti'ton, pro-
vided seats for ALL Rev. w. Southgate,
rector Of st. Anne's, conducted the open
ing services, after which the choir of st
Anne's assisted by Miss Fe'dmeyer. rem
dered charming music. The old hall
rang as l., perhaps never did before, with
the well trained voices of ladies and gen
tlemen who sang as though their souls
were In the music. The Rev. DIR. Eccles
ton, who had been announced to preach
the bace alaureate sermon, chose ftr his
text the 2lst chapter of III Samuel and
tenth verse: And Rizpah the daughter
oil Alan took sackcloth, and spread il for
her upon the rock, from the beginning Of
harvest until water dropped upon them
out of heaven, and suffered neither the
birds of the air to rest on them by day,
nor the beasts of the field by night.
The sermon was an able one and the
DIR. treated his subject in mastery man
ner and held the undivided attention of
his hearers throughout the discourse.

Stand by the Farm.

A correspondent of the Belvidere IN
j. Apollo offers sound advice to far
mers' sons who contemplate selling
their patrimOnies in order to embark
in some kind of business which will
bring them tout i'll the world" The
view which the correspondent takes rs
tn the rising value of American farm
land is one which must commend itself
to every observing and thoughtful
mind. Pursuing this line of argument
the writer says:
"N0thing is surer of yielding in in :
come than the lands of America; and
also that the size of the country cannot
be greater, while it is almost absolute
Iy certain that within the next twenty
five years our population of about six
ty millions will double, or reach the
enormous fignres of one hundred and
twenty millions. Values of farms and
all real estate in fact, advance in price
the world over Just about in proper
ton as population becomes dense.
Thus in England to-day good farms
sell for from three to four hundred
dollars per acre, and there, as in Ger
many and France, it is esteemed the
best property to hold or descend to
heirs, whether it nets two or three per
cent. or more or less. Periodically,
we have depression in farming real
estate, owing to various causes-bad
crops, or over abundant crops for sew
eral years, each go to produce this re-
suit. But after each such depression
an upward bound icarries the prices of
farms higher than ever known before.
This fact has occurred no less than
four times in the past fifty years in all
the good agricultural portions of our
Eastern states :. and we are now APP.
parcntly on the eve of another material
advance in farming real estate, which
has been sold, in many cases, lower
during the past two years than in any
ten years previously. Many of our
capitalists are beginning to look
around to see where they can invest so
as to net three or four per cent. per
amnum on such lands (Which is more
than government bonds metz, and have
at the same time the advance in value
due to the great increase in population.
The four million farm owners, and
the four million lot owners of America,
are to-day the best off of any body of
tllen of~cIe same number on this planet
81 ours, and they hold the fort against
any species of anarchy in our land.
Our advice to one and all is, keep the
old homestead when you can, and to
those who are toiling and saving also,
get bit of free soil that you can call
your own as early us yOu can"

SLEEP.
CHICAGO Ne1cs


The old saying in regard to sleep
"nine hours is enough for fOol'' hal
frightened many people from taking a
rest that was necessary to them. "Na
ture takes five, custom seven, laziness
nine and wickedness eleven" is wrong
in at least two of its assertions. There
are very few instances in which nature
does not demand more than five hours
sleep. 1t is true that sleeping, like
eating, is very much matter of habit,
and you may train yOuself to dispense
with more than five hours sleep, as
yen may omit the third meal of the
day. How long you will flourish un-
der such IA regimen will depend upon
the strength of your constitution. You
may fare like the mans horse, who,
when it had become reduced to il diet
of one straw day, in the most I'M
grateful manner died on his hands.
A person may need nine hours
sleep ont of the twenty four without
being either lazy or foolish. Indeed,
he is wise man if, feeling that he
requires them, he is sensible enough to
take them. Goethe, when performing
his greatest literary feats, took nine
hours sleep. A full-grOwn adult in a
healthy condition will seldom require
more than eight. If, however, he dis
covers that lie is not sufficiently re-
freshed by eight hours he should take
more. 1t is pretty safe rule to sleep
us long as you are sleepy. "There are
people," says writer, "whO are wise
enough to eat when they are hungry,
but who have never attained that high
er degree of wisdom to sleep when
they are sleepy" Unless you are
very lazy person indeed, you are not
likely to take more than your constitu-
ton requires, for, of course, dawdling
in bed is not sleeping. By shortening
the necessary hours for sleep you may
bring npOn yourself "insOmnia." There
are scientific writers on the subject
who claim that the best remedy for
this is to learn to sleep in the day
time. This is very well where for
some cause, work, watching or pleas
ure, you may have failed to get your
needed sleep for night or two.
There is undoubtedly great virtue
in maps, even short ones, and the art
of mapping in the day time, although
| could never acquire it, is desirable
one, and, like most arts, is matter of
practice. Still, it is IL bad practice to
get into the habit of turning night into
day, and if you are not kept awake by
care and illness, but merely have lain
awake because you could not sleep,
should recommend you to fight the
consequent drOwsiness, the next day,
in order that you may, if possible, re-
sumo your natural rest ut night. Sleep
lessness is generally the result of an
unfortunate habit of thinking" gen
orally on unpleasant subjects, after
one has retired for the night. DR..
Frank Hamilton, IL great physician
and wise man, said: GLOOMY
thoughts prevent sleep. The poor and
magnify and increase their
misfortune by too much thinking.
Blessed be he who invented sleep! but
thrice blessed be he who shall invent
"a cure for thinkingw

Boys at College.

A young man said recently in ouI
hearing, " Boys often do things at col
lege which they would not think of do
ing at home" This is true, and very
sorry are we that it is true. A brave,
manly young fellow would seOrn to do
that away from home which he would
not do at home. At least he would il
his better Judgment were not some
times Overruled by the foolish, but
specious reasoning of his associates
Too often the college standard is
sharply opposed to the home standard,
and he is considered brave fellow
who accepts the former, aud but Il
milksop if he holds to the latter. A
college course is Il grand test of char
acter. He who falls easily into pre-
vailing bad habits shows his weakness.
He who abides in his integrity, and
cannot be cajOled, or sneered, or ridi
culed Into wrong doing proves his
strength, and his ability to meet and
conquer obstacles in after life.
